Smooth out the ride and keep the rear tires planted with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Shock Absorber (MPN 5502). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2017 Toyota Prius V — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. Designed to help restore the vehicle's original factory drivability while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness, this rear damper controls suspension movement to help maintain ride control and tire-to-road contact.
- Reduced NVH: A Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
- Tuned handling: Full displaced valving, tuned to the vehicle, adjusts to road extremes, and a larger bore provides more efficient damping control for a smooth, consistent ride.
- Control and durability: A PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between piston and pressure tube, and OE all-weather fluid uses special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown.
- Nitrogen gas-charge: Helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration and shock fade, while a self-lubricating fluid seal retains gas and reduces friction against the piston rod.
Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and exclusive Feel the Difference Guarantee. Sold individually; replacing both rear shocks as a matched pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
